Problems solved by technology

Traditional arrangements do not provide the different viewers efficient delivery of information about what the other viewers of the syllabus have or are currently looking at while maintaining the ability for the users to independently browse the online document(s).
Moreover there is a lack of independence when participating in such an online session.
Thus, given a collaborative web-browsing session, the kind of browsing one can do has been essentially limited to simple URL requests.
Due to the proliferation of this type of media embedded in the web experience, this limits the users' experience in a shared session.
These arrangements for sharing an Internet or web-browsing experience do not result in a truly collaborative / shared browsing experience where each party involved can fully participate by being efficiently informed of the others' navigation behavior while being free to do their own browsing online.

Abstract

A system for collaborative web browsing is provided comprising: a CPU; a system memory in communication with said CPU; a display medium; and instructions stored in the system memory and executable by the CPU, the instructions comprising: enabling a device to join a collaborative web browsing session; enabling a data navigation module to provide, upon an object appearing upon the display medium being selected by a user, outgoing navigation data that enables a rendering of the object to be distinguished from other objects rendered upon at least one other display medium of at least one other device.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to computing systems and in particular to providing systems, methods and arrangements for enabling users of different computing devices to establish and share a web-browsing experience with one another by exchanging navigation data.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There is an increasing desire on the part of two or more parties to share an Internet or web-browsing session. One common example is a shared online shopping experience. For instance, one person looking at a new product online may wish to ask another (remotely located) person “do you like this”? The first person would normally then follow up (or couple to) the question by a sending a link (i.e. a Uniform Resource Locator (URL)) to the web page containing the picture of the product currently being viewed to the other person. That is, send the second person a link to the currently viewed web page such that upon clicking the link, a web browser would open the page f...
